int __net_init ip_tunnel_init_net(struct net *net, int ip_tnl_net_id,
struct rtnl_link_ops *ops, char *devname)
{

[...]

}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(ip_tunnel_init_net);

Really, you exported a symbol that can go away if CONFIG_NET_NS is not
set?

----
net: Remove __net_init/exit from exported functions

If CONFIG_NET_NS is not set then __net_init is the same as __init and
__net_exit is the same as __exit. These functions will be removed from
memory after the module loads or is removed. Functions that are exported
for use by other functions should never be labeled for removal.
